Book summary
George Hardy is a successful Liverpool surgeon and an amateur photographer. He is also, secretly, an alcoholic and a homosexual. The facts of his life are narrated by the people in his life: Myrtle, an orphan girl who devotes her life to him, even surreptitiously bearing his children (his wife is barren); his brother-in-law Dr. Potter, a geologist and classical scholar; and Pompey Jones, a street-urchin and fire-eater as well as Master Georgie's assistant and lover. The Crimean War is the background to this melancholy novel, which is about the essential aloneness of all human beings. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.
